The poll I included in the post just below this one is crap, so I apologize, but it took a lot of work to make it look that crappy.
There are several free poll concocters out there, and they all promise different things. Some of them will cause your computer to crash, and others will do nearly what they say they're going to do. My guess is that you can only get real stability by plunking down between $10 and $20 per month. However, for those of us who blog just for the hell of it paying $10 per month is dumb.
Anyway, please try it and let me know if it works.
Thanks!

Arnold Schwarzenneger, governor of the state of California, is busy trying to bump the California primaries up to February (or something like that). Iowa and New Hampshire always enjoy the spotlight during primary season, and California tends to play a bit part in the whole bonanza despite boasting the largest population in the union. He aims to put California's concerns on the map (the environment, social issues, etc.) during the early stages of election season.
Schwarzenegger is a fairly popular Republican governor in a Democratic state, yet his name is never thrown out there as a possible candidate for the presidency of the United States. The reason, of course, is obvious--he wasn't born in the US (nativist clause). Other noteworthy foreign-born politicians include Madeleine Albright (former Secretary of State), Jennifer Granholm (current governor of Michigan), and Kofi Annan (not technically a US politician, rather the former Secretary General of the United Nations).
Whether or not the law should be changed to allow foreign-born citizens to run for the presidency (or the vice-presidency) is up for debate. In spite of the restriction, however, I've been shuffling through the names of people who might make an impressive showing in their respective party's primary.
